Player Characters in the Maalum campaign should be created with the following in mind:

• The only playable race is Aran. Therefore, all characters start as Aran, except with express permission from the GM.
• Some base classes are marked as restricted. These classes cannot be taken by new characters except with GM permission.
• Ability ratings are purchased as per Core, p.16; with 15 points (Standard Fantasy).
• Hit points for levels beyond the first are determined by 'take half, round up'

Additionally, if the character originally hails from Ilfreann:

• They have the "Ilfreann" knowledge area for all Knowledge skills.
